Proton's New AI Assistant Lumo Offers a Private and Encrypted Chat Alternative
On the plus side (not the Plus plan) this is an AI assistant that promises to keep your conversations completely private, even for the free version.
"Proton says Lumo doesn't keep chat logs on its servers, and everything stays encrypted on your device using the same technology that protects the company's other services, so no one else can read your conversations – including Proton itself."
On the not so Plus side, there is a Plus version, but it appears that Proton "Unlimited" plan subscribers, like myself, are limited to the free version only. Which is OK, but it may be time to reconsider that naming of that plan as it is getting further and further away from "unlimited".
Some quick comparisons by running through some queries I already did in Perplexity is leaving me with a feeling that it is not as intuitive as Perplexy in terms of interpreting my actual question, and the answers are a bit more vague versus Perplexity's. It does however also provide sources for its answers (not all though). And of course a Proton subscriber, I don't get anything extra on the AI. So, I'm a little mixed on this one, but I suppose its privacy first focus may be plus for many.
